Bogota, Jul 23 (EFE).- Five members of Conservation International and a cameraman working for the environmental organization were kidnapped in northern Colombia by suspected members of the National Liberation Army, or ELN, guerrilla group, Colombian media reported.

The group was caught by surprise by ELN fighters in the hamlet of La Paz, which is close to Sincelejo, the capital of Cesar province, some 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) from Bogota, according to radio and television reports.

The environmentalists had left Sincelejo last week and were working on a project to protect sections of the Serrania del Perija, a mountain range rich in plant and animal life that marks the border between Colombia and Venezuela.

'Actually, hope nothing permanent happens to the environmentalists, " Well, whatever happens to the greenpissers, they are permanently a part of the environment, even when composting. So, don't worry about them.

Life imitates South Park again, when the environmentalists are kidnapped by the rebels.

"You white Americans make me sick! You waste food, oil, and everything else because you're so rich, and then you tell the rest of the world to save the rainforest because you like its pretty flowers."

All we need is "Getting Gay With Kids" to sing their song.

"There's a place called the rainforest; it truly sucks a**. Let's knock it all down and get rid of it fast. You say, "Save the rainforest," but what do you know? You've never been to the rainforest before. Getting Gay With Kids is here! To tell you things you might not like to hear. You only fight these causes 'cause caring sells. All you activists can go f*** yourselves! Someday if we work hard, boys and girls, There'll be no more rainforests left in the entire world! Getting Gay With Kids is here! To spread the word and bring you cheer. Yeah! Getting Gay With Kids is here! Let's knock down the rainforest! What do you say?! It's totally gay! It's totally gay!"

FYI: If you will research it, you will find that one of the leaders (I mean the top dog) of the ELN was Carlos Restrepo Colima(?) who was a Catholic priest. I am not anti catholic so don't even go there. Just pointing an example of how the Church sometimes gets way too comfy with socialism. ELN, I beleive, was ranked by the State Department as a terrorist organization

Re my 15: My bad. The correct name of that "priest" was Camilo Restrepo Torres. As all good terrorists should be, he was shot and killed by the Colombian army. But ELN is alive and well as you can see.
